The immigration process in Hong Kong
Hong Kong has an open
immigration policy and the government has made efforts to encourage and attract talented individuals to come and work in the city. Non-resident professionals who possess special or valuable skills that are not available at a given time in Hong Kong may
apply for a work permit under the
General Employment Policy. Before making the application, individuals must have a conformed work offer from a company in Hong Kong.
The Quality Migrant Admission Scheme is implemented for highly skilled and talented individuals who can increase productivity and competitiveness in the city. These types of individuals can apply for a visa without necessarily having an employment offer at the time of the application.
The
Capital Investment Entrant Scheme is designed for individuals who want to
immigrate to Hong Kong based on the investments they wish to make in the city. Individuals who enter Hong Kong under this scheme are not required to
open a Hong Kong company but must be willing to make investments of 10 million HK $.
Immigration arrangements also exist for non-local graduates who wish to remain in the city after they have obtained a degree or qualification in Hong Kong and also for those who are second generation of Chinese Hong Kong permanent residents.
